Rip those euro guards off!!! They serve no purpose but to rub tires
Did you purchase the anti spin rear differential package with your JL? Just wondering if you’re running Dana 33s or 44s with your 35inch tires as I’m looking into them for my sportStock 2018 JL Sport S.
285/75/R17 BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2 on stock wheels with no spacers. NOTE: These are 285/75/R17.
Discount tire only had 4 in stock, 5th tire is on route.
Tires clear, no rubbing on full lock when driving. Doesnt hit the frame, nor the plastics.. even with the ugly euro splash guard/bumper cover and air dam. Doesn't rub whatsoever on normal driving conditions. Haven't taken her off road yet, but will soon and will post updates. Will install a lift soon but with current stock height. No rubbing issues at all. Definitely sits higher than stock. Didn't measure for myself. However these tires have a little more than 2inches diameter increase compared to stock.
Other additions are Rough Country nerf bar side steps, plasti-dipped front tow hooks.
Drives smooth, can't feel a difference in power. Braking does feel slightly different as im pushing on it slightly harder. SLIGHTLY. But its barely a difference and not enough for concern.
Drove it 50+ miles on hwy, and maybe averaged 1 miles less per galon.. if that.. i drive 60 mph like a grandma with a very light foot.
Gone over speed bumps and a curb just for fun.. no rubbing on fenders.. still plenty of room.
Did you have to relocate the spare?Brand new to the Jeep community and just got mine on Black Friday. I appreciate all the knowledge that people share in here and it made me pull the trigger on 285/75r17s! Nodding my Jeep is so fun! Thanks!
Went with Helo wheels and Falken tires...black looks so much better than aluminum
Nope, it rubs slightly when I don’t lift the spare when screwing in the lugs. Otherwise it has a slight gap.
Hwy driving isn't much different than stock. Maybe a loss of 1 or 2 mpg if that.. but very similar to stock. I see 8th gear just fine with the automatic and 285/75. My only recommendation would be go with a load range C if you can find it. Much softer and a more comfortable ride. The load range E is much stiffer than stock, so you'll feel the bumps in the road more. The wrangler doesn't need that high of an index rating.
Hey do you think Nitto 35s would fix with a stock rim, without wheel spacer. I’m going with a 2 1/2 lift.Stock 2018 JL Sport S.

That setup looks good. That’s what I want to do keep the stock rim, but put in 315-70 on them. Just hope they will fit.Sting Gray Sport. 285/75/17 2.5 inch rough county lift.
My understanding is you're going to need spacers or different wheel to fit 35's on a Sport.
It'll fit, but with probably a little rubbing at full lock or when making tight turns.
